As part of the Family Capitalism pillar of the ECGI’s Responsible Capitalism initiative, the conference will focus on how family-owned enterprises can harness their long-term vision and values to achieve stronger resilience during current challenges caused by inflation, geopolitical risks, supply chain crisis, and financial constraints. Family businesses often demonstrate higher flexibility during crisis, securing jobs and supporting their local communities. The discussion will revolve around the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for the next generation of family business leaders, and practical guidance for family enterprises shaping the future.

The conference will also focus on family firm governance issues, as the governance of family businesses is more complicated than for non-family firms because of the complex family, business and ownership relationships.

This is an in-person event. Some academic sessions will be recorded and published afterwards.
